Create a Menu Frame
A menu frame is an otherwise empty frame except that it contains a menu bar.
To create a menu frame
1. Select your application in the Applications portlet of the Develop tab.
The application's components, if any, are displayed in the Components portlet.
2. Click in the Components portlet to make it active.
3. Click File, New, User Frame.
The Create User Frame dialog appears.
4. Enter the component name in the Name field (for example, My_Menu_Frame).
5. (Optional) Enter a comment for the component in the Remark field.
6. Accept the default application library, Core, in the Application field, and then select the menu template in the Template field.
7. Click Create.
OpenROAD opens the Frame Editor, displaying the frame based on the menu frame template. By default, this frame has a form that is empty except for the menu bar with a single menu item, File.
The menu frame is also added to the Components portlet as a user frame component. You can continue to develop this form, setting frame properties, adding fields, and specifying field properties in this and other chapters.
